第7讲 体裁微解——说明文
一、近五年考情分析
说明:
1. 难度系数:取值范围为0 - 1,数值越接近1表明难度越低,该数据综合考量文章的词汇量、句子复杂程度、题目设问难度等多方面因素。
2. 易错点分析:基于对学生答题情况的统计和深入剖析得出,精准反映出学生在说明文阅读理解中常见的丢分原因。
二、命题特点
(一)科普知识类
1. 词汇专业性强:文章中充斥着大量专业术语和复杂的科学词汇,像“artificial intelligence(人工智能)”“quantum mechanics(量子力学)”“CRISPR gene - editing technology(CRISPR基因编辑技术)”等。这些词汇对于考生来说可能较为陌生,需要具备一定的猜词能力和词汇积累才能理解文章内容。
2. 逻辑结构严谨:通常遵循“提出问题 - 分析问题 - 解决问题”或“现象阐述 - 原理分析 - 应用前景”的结构。例如,先介绍某种新型材料的研发背景,接着深入分析其物理化学特性,最后探讨在各个领域的应用可能性。这种严谨的逻辑结构有助于考生梳理文章脉络,但也要求考生具备较强的逻辑分析能力。
3. 题型多样:细节理解题考查考生对文中具体科学信息的准确把握,如实验步骤、技术参数等;推理判断题要求考生依据已知科学知识和文章内容进行合理推断,如根据某种科学现象推断其产生的原因;主旨大意题则考查考生对文章整体科学主题和核心观点的概括能力。
(二)生态环保类
1. 数据列举频繁:为了直观地说明生态环境问题的严重性或环保措施的成效,文章中常常列举大量的数据。比如“全球每年有1000万公顷的森林遭到砍伐”“某河流的化学需氧量(COD)超标50%”等。通过这些数据,考生需要准确理解生态环境问题的现状和变化趋势。
2. 观点态度鲜明:作者通常会明确表达对生态环境问题的担忧以及对环保行动的支持态度。可能会使用“urgent(紧迫的)”“vital(至关重要的)”等形容词,或者直接陈述观点,如“We must take immediate actions to protect our environment(我们必须立即采取行动来保护环境)”。因此,观点态度题是常见的考查题型之一。
3. 联系现实生活:文章内容与日常生活紧密相关,会提及人们日常生活中的行为对生态环境的影响,以及个人可以采取的环保措施。例如,倡导减少使用一次性塑料制品、鼓励绿色出行等,使考生在理解文章时更容易产生共鸣,也能引导考生将环保理念应用到实际生活中。
三、解题技巧
(一)科普知识类
1. 快速浏览,掌握主旨:迅速浏览文章标题、首尾段和每段首句,确定文章的核心科学主题,明确文章是关于哪种科学现象、技术或理论的介绍。例如,看到标题“New Breakthrough in Solar Energy Technology(太阳能技术的新突破)”,就能初步判断文章围绕太阳能技术的新进展展开。
2. 剖析结构,定位信息:依据文章严谨的逻辑结构,确定各部分内容的作用。在解答题目时,根据题干中的关键词,快速定位到相应的段落和句子,提取关键信息。若题目询问某种技术的应用领域,就到介绍应用前景的部分寻找答案。
3. 巧用语境,猜测词义:遇到专业术语时,不要惊慌,结合上下文语境、解释说明、举例等线索来猜测词义。比如,“Astronomy, the study of celestial objects such as stars, planets, and galaxies, has made great progress in recent years.”通过“the study of celestial objects such as stars, planets, and galaxies”的解释,能明白“Astronomy”是天文学的意思。
4. 合理推理,避免臆断:推理判断题要基于文章中给出的科学知识和信息进行合理推断,不能过度推理或加入主观臆想。比如,文章仅表明某种新型药物在实验室测试中表现良好,就不能推断它已能完全治愈某种疾病。
(二)生态环保类
1. 关注数据,分析趋势:对文章中出现的数据进行重点关注,分析数据所反映的生态环境问题的变化趋势,是恶化还是改善。通过对比不同时期的数据,准确理解文章内容。例如,“某地区过去五年空气质量优良天数比例从30%提升到了50%”,表明该地区空气质量有所改善。
2. 把握态度,理解意图:留意作者表达观点态度的词汇和语句,准确判断作者对生态环境问题的看法以及写作意图。是呼吁人们重视环保,还是介绍某种环保措施的优势,从而精准回答观点态度题和主旨大意题。
3. 联系生活,辅助理解:将文章内容与日常生活中的环保现象和行为联系起来,帮助理解文章。比如,文章提到“垃圾分类”,考生可结合自己在生活中对垃圾分类的了解,更好地把握文章内容。
4. 对比选项,排除干扰:在做选择题时,仔细对比选项与原文内容,排除与原文不符、过于绝对或偏离文章主旨的选项。若选项中出现“all(所有)”“never(从不)”等绝对词汇时,要格外留意,除非文章中有明确表述,否则很可能是错误选项。
四、易错失分点
(一)科普知识类
1. 词汇理解偏差:被大量专业词汇阻碍,无法准确理解文章基本内容,导致答题错误。考生平时要注重积累科普类词汇,加强根据语境猜词的练习,扩大词汇量。
2. 逻辑分析不足:没有理清文章的逻辑结构,在回答涉及文章整体框架或段落关系的题目时出错。做题前先梳理文章结构,明确各部分之间的逻辑关系,有助于避免此类错误。
3. 推理过度:在推理判断题中,脱离文章实际内容,过度发挥想象,得出错误结论。牢记推理要以原文为依据,不能主观臆断,每一个推断都要有文中信息支撑。
(二)生态环保类
1. 数据解读错误:对文章中的数据信息理解不清,将不同地区、不同时间、不同对象的数据混淆,导致答题错误。阅读时要对数据进行标记和整理,明确数据所对应的具体内容,仔细分析数据反映的问题。
2. 态度判断失误:没有准确把握作者的观点态度,将作者的支持或反对态度理解错误。做题时要关注作者使用的形容词、副词以及直接表达观点的语句,全面理解作者意图。
3. 主旨把握不准:在概括文章主旨时,没有抓住文章的核心要点,仅关注到部分内容,导致主旨概括片面。要综合考虑文章的各个方面,提炼出最能体现文章主题的主旨。

(24-25高一上·安徽阜阳·期末)Wearing sports clothes, many Chinese people will go outdoors happily with their families or friends on March 12. They are just planting trees on this special day — China's Arbor Day (中国植树节).
When it comes to China’s Arbor Day, we can't help thinking of Mr. Ling Daoyang. He was born in 1888. When he worked as an English teacher in Beijing, he got a chance to study forestry (林业) at Yale University. After graduating in 1914, he returned to China and became a famousexpert in forestry science. In 1915, he advised that the Qingming Festival should also be China’s Arbor Day. His suggestion was welcomed by most people. In 1929, National Arbor Day was moved to March 12, the day Mr. Sun Yat-sen passed away, who did much to support forestry.
In 1979, March 12 was officially announced as China’s Arbor Day. Since then, thousands of trees have been planted all over China, making our country much more beautiful.
China’s Arbor Day is educational for all of us. It reminds us that we should protect our earth and thank our old generations, who planted green, hope and joy for us.
9.According to the text, people often go outdoors on March 12 to ______.
A.do sports B.study English. C.find jobs. D.plant trees.
10.Why was National Arbor Day moved to March 12, in 1929
A.To show interest in the season. B.To show respect to Sun Yat-sen.
C.To make use of people’s free time. D.To make progress in agriculture.

(24-25高三下·安徽合肥·开学考试)A can of soft drink and two large eggs may have a similar number of calories, but the eggs will provide us with protein, vitamins and other nutrients, and satisfy our hunger, while a fizzy drink provides little more than calories. The important concept here is nutrient density (密度), which refers to the number of nutrients we take in for each calorie consumed. No one would suggest replacing sweet drinks with eggs, but what can we do to increase nutrient density in our diet
“Have you had your five a day ” on British supermarket shelves is a reminder to customers to ensure they are eating at least five slices of fruits and vegetables per day, promoting a healthy diet. Many countries have launched similar campaigns to encourage people to eat more healthily. Fresh, natural produce is usually very dense in nutrients. Eating a wide range of fruits and vegetables is important, so some advice focuses on including different colors of food in our diets. “Eating a rainbow” could be one way to get more nutrients.
Other advice recommends that we should be more adventurous in what we eat. Cooking food that we haven’t eaten before can lead us to use ingredients that we don’t usually consume. This can give us a wider range of nutrients. It’s not just about fruit and vegetables. Even flavorings such as garlic, ginger or turmeric can have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, while also leading people to use less salt. Dairy products such as milk and cheese, are high in calcium, while in limited amounts, meat can be a good source of protein.
If you’re not feeling that adventurous, then swapping food items can be beneficial. Choosing wholegrain bread or rice instead of white tread or rice can increase fibre intake. Unsalted nuts provide more nutrients than snacks such as crisps. Possibly surprisingly, popcorn is a wholegrain snack that is high in fibre.
So, fresh fruit and vegetables, swapping the worst things, and just a little bit more adventure could be the secret to a more nutritious diet.
13.What does “Eating a rainbow” suggest
A.Focusing on low-calorie foods.
B.Avoiding white and black foods.
C.Adding variously colored foods to what we eat.
D.Including rainbow-colored snacks in our diets.
14.What can happen if we are more adventurous in our food choices
A.We reduce calories in our diets. B.We eat more fruits and vegetables.
C.We consume more unhealthy food. D.We gain access to diverse nutrients.
15.Which of the following is the healthiest swap
A.Swapping white rice for wholegrain rice.
B.Swapping two eggs for a can of soft drink.
C.Swapping popcorn for wholegrain bread.
D.Swapping unsalted nuts for white bread.
16.Which of the following serves as the best title
A.Eating a balanced diet is essential
B.Nutrient density is key to a healthy diet
C.Eggs are a better choice than sugary drinks
D.Fruits and vegetables are always the best choice

(2025·辽宁抚顺·二模)According to new research, babies recognize pretence and around half of children can pretend by themselves by 12 months. The study, led by the University of Bristol, shows for the first time how children’s awareness and grasp of pretence in its various forms develops from birth to three years old.
The lead author said, “Our findings highlight how pretending is a complex, evolving (进化的) process which begins very early on in life, helping their cognitive (认知的) and social skills to advance. Pretence is a key part of children’s learning, creativity, making friends, and understanding of other people. This study maps its many different stages and types.”
The findings are based on results from a survey of 900 parents of children aged from birth up to three years old from the UK, the US, Australia, and Canada. The earliest reported age when children understand pretence was four months and by the age of 13 months, around half were reported to discern pretence by others. Around half of 12-month-olds were reported to be pretending regularly themselves.
Researchers identified 18 different types of pretence which emerge and progress in the early years. One-year-olds’ pretence was shown to initially involve their bodies, for example, pretending to sleep. They may also gesture objects and actions, such as brushing their teeth with a finger or pretending with objects for their intended purpose like drinking out of an empty cup.
The researchers hope their research will help parents and preschool teachers understand and identify which types of pretence are appropriate to try with children at certain ages, supporting their learning, creativity, and friendships.
The lead author said, “With further research, the findings have the potential to be used as a diagnostic tool for developmental differences in early years. This could ultimately help parents, preschool educators, and medical professionals better understand how to play with children at different stages of development.”
17.How can pretence impact babies
A.By enhancing their physical strength.
B.By boosting their cognitive development.
C.By making them more resistant to illness.
D.By teaching them to read and write earlier.
18.What does the underlined word “discern” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Recognize. B.Force. C.Interrupt. D.Criticise.
19.What might the findings bring
A.New learning skills in science.
B.Changes in secondary education.
C.Better play methods for primary students.
D.Ways to assess developmental differences.
20.What can be the best title for the text
A.How Babies Learn to Pretend
B.The Process of Pretence in Children
C.New Insights into Early Childhood Pretence
D.The Role of Pretence in Human Development

(2025·福建福州·二模)A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) challenges long-held assumptions about human cooperation. Traditionally, cooperation has been studied through repeated interactions that allow individuals to build trust and win-win relationships, adjusting their behavior based on others’ actions. However, many real-world situations, such as volunteering or donating to crisis relief, involve one-time decisions with no anticipated future interactions. This study, co-authored by Dr. Natalie Struwe, Prof. Esther Blanco alongside Prof. James Walker, explored how individuals cooperate when they only have one opportunity to do so within a social group.
Their experiments involving over 2,000 participants examined the benefits from cooperation in public good provision. Despite increased benefits, there was no significant change in how much individuals were willing to cooperate. As participants did not expect others to cooperate more when benefits increased, they were unlikely to increase their own cooperation efforts — even when the benefits of cooperation doubled.
“Our findings highlight a gap in our understanding of cooperative behavior in single-encounter settings,” said Dr. Struwe. “Self-interest conflicts with social interests. With higher benefits from cooperation, however, this conflict is much lower and we would expect to see much higher cooperation rates. But, we were surprised to find that even significantly increased benefits did not lead to greater cooperation efforts.”
“We couldn’t believe the results ourselves at first, double-checked the data several times, and repeated the study with several populations,” said Professor Esther Blanco. “In the end, we gathered nearly 2,000 data points, conducting experiments online with the general population from the UK. No matter what we did, the results remained consistent. Participants were willing to invest about 40% of their available money to boost group earnings, regardless of the setting.”
“Cooperation in one-time situations is more common than we think.” Explained Prof. Walker. The study’s results have important implications for encouraging cooperation in urgent, one-time scenarios like disaster relief and highlight the need for a deeper understanding of cooperative behavior, a defining characteristic of humanity.
21.What did the previous study center on
A.Cooperation shown in crises.
B.Interaction boosted by bonds.
C.Interaction repeated among strangers.
D.Cooperation based on constant interactions.
22.What factor may affect participants’ willingness to cooperate
A.Expectations of others.
B.Higher rewards.
C.Joint efforts of the team.
D.Interest conflicts.
23.What is Blanco’s finding about cooperation levels
A.They increased regularly.
B.They varied greatly.
C.They were relatively stable.
D.They were unpredictable.
24.What would be the best title for the article
A.The Impact of Trust on Cooperation Decisions
B.Reevaluating Benefits in Cooperative Behavior
C.Human Interaction: Beyond Long-Term Firm Cooperation
D.Rethinking Cooperation: Insights from One-Time Decisions

(24-25高三下·湖北·阶段练习)A technology with roots going back to the Bronze Age may offer a fast and inexpensive approach to helping achieve the United Nations climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050, according to recent Stanford-led research.
The technology involves fitting heat-absorbing bricks in an insulated (隔热的) container, where they can store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use in industrial processes. The heat can then be released when needed by passing air through channels in the piles of “firebricks”, thus allowing cement, steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunshine are unavailable. These systems are a form of thermal energy (热能) storage. The bricks are made from the same materials as the bricks that lined primitive kilns (窑) thousands of years ago.
Batteries can store electricity and provide it to generate heat on demand. “The differences between firebrick storage and battery storage are that the firebricks store heat rather than electricity and that their cost is one-tenth the cost of batteries,” said lead study author Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor at Stanford University. “The materials are basically just the components of dirt. ”
The researchers adopted computer models to compare costs, land needs, health impacts, and emissions involved in two scenarios for an imagined future where 149 countries in 2050 are using renewable sources for all energy purposes. In one scenario, firebricks provide 90% of industrial process heat. In the other, there’s zero adoption of firebricks or other forms of thermal energy storage. The researchers found the scenario with firebricks could cut costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries, while reducing the demand for electrical energy and energy storage capacity from batteries.
Jacobson’s focus on firebricks is relatively new, inspired by a desire to identify effective solutions that could be adopted quickly. “Here I can see a substantial benefits at low cost from multiple angles, from helping reduce air pollution deaths to making it easier to turn the world to clean energy,” he said.
25.What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A.How firebrick storage technology works. B.How firebricks are produced sustainably.
C.What thermal energy means scientifically. D.What thermal energy storage is used to do.
26.What advantages do firebrick have over battery
A.Firebrick can store heat and cost less. B.Firebrick can generate more electricity.
C.Firebrick can provide heat more quickly. D.Firebrick is made of more advanced materials.
27.Why are the computer models adopted
A.To test the durability of firebricks. B.To cut the costs of firebricks.
C.To explore the effectiveness of firebricks. D.To test energy storage capacity of firebricks.
28.What might be a suitable title for the text
A.The usage of firebricks can replace batteries.
B.Embracing renewable electricity becomes possible.
C.Innovative systems turn heat into electricity cheaply.
D.An old technology can aid the switch to clean energy.

(24-25高二上·河北保定·阶段练习)“Big Tree,” an old southern live oak, sits in a park just outside Orlando’s business district. It’s been struck by lightning at least three times and has survived many hurricanes — and it grew from a seed around the same time Juan Ponce de León’s ship first landed on Florida’s eastern coast.
Over 400 years old, the tree is so impressive that members of a Michigan-based nonprofit flew to Orlando in February to climb the tree and cut branches and leaves. The researchers are now in the midst of the process to grow new roots from the cuttings. The reason: To clone the historic tree, store its DNA and plant potentially thousands of cloned trees across the Southeast.
In order to clone an ancient tree, researchers must climb it to find a piece of live tissue. The freshly cut branches and leaves are taken to the group’s lab in Michigan, where, in climate-controlled rooms, researchers work to promote growth from the cuttings.
The most common method is by rooted cuttings. In this method, a tip of a tree’s branch is dipped (蘸) into hormones, placed into a foam plug (泡沫塞) and set inside a mist room. Then, the waiting begins. A sign of life can take several months to a year to show, if one comes at all. In another method called tissue culture, researchers take a quarter-inch of branch, dip it into a mixture made up of a dozen hormones and other chemicals, seal (密封) it in a container and wait to see whether it will grow roots.
Experts lauded the group for its creative methods and reproduction in large numbers, but they doubt whether the clones will grow as the originals do. Scott Merkle, a professor of forest biology at the University of Georgia, said, “There are so many variables that there’s no certainty that they will be able to survive and perform better than other trees that you plant on the same land”. He added that the age of historic trees makes them difficult to study. “I think it’s a great thing that they’ re doing. I just don’t know how realistic it is.”
29.According to the passage, what do the researchers aim to do
A.To study the reason for the survival of “Big Tree”.
B.To save thousands of trees across the Southeast.
C.To analyse the effects of climate on tree growth.
D.To clone an ancient tree from its original.
30.What do we know about the two methods mentioned in paragraph 4
A.Tissue culture is the most frequently used method.
B.There is a chance that the branch will fail to grow roots.
C.In the first method the live tissue is sealed in a container.
D.A mixture of hormones and other chemicals is needed in both methods.
31.What does the underlined word “lauded” in paragraph 5 mean
A.Praised. B.Met. C.Joined. D.Contacted.
32.What’s Scott Merkle’s attitude to the group’s work
A.Doubtful. B.Positive. C.Cautious. D.Unclear.

(24-25高二上·福建泉州·期末)Advocates of AI chatbots in educational settings say the tools can assist in activities like brainstorming — or help students get started on tough math problems. But many teachers say their students are short of the skills to improve upon what AI produces, or the maturity (成熟) and self-awareness to know where the work of AI ends and their own responsibility begins.
A 2024 study of nearly 1,000 high school students put the matter to a test: 9th, 10th, and 11th graders attended a brief math lesson, then practised solving related problems in preparation for a quiz. Some relied on traditional methods — consulting their notes and textbooks to find possible answers — while others had access to a basic version or a tutor version (辅导版) of ChatGPT.
The results were a success of technology — until they weren’t. Students using the basic and tutor GPTs scored an astonishing 48 percent and 127 percent better than their peers during the practices, respectively, but when the same students went to get back the information from their memory during a follow-up closed-book test, their math skills had disappeared. Test performance of the students who had used the basic version of ChatGPT dropped so sharply that they scored 17 percent below their peers who had relied on pen and paper. Given the opportunity, students used the software as a “crutch” and often skipped straight to the answer, the researchers concluded. When applied at key moments, the technology actually “runs the risk of blocking learning.”
But ChatGPT and other similar AI tools aren’t out of the game. In several studies, the tools performed well when designed to guide student learning-by refusing to give away answers, for example, or asking in-depth follow-up questions. AI is making rapid progress, but isn’t a threat to replace teachers. For now, it’s only as smart as its human makers.
33.What is a problem of students when using AI chatbots
A.They are not aware of how AI chatbots work.
B.They lack the ability to employ AI effectively.
C.They are incapable of improving AI chatbots.
D.They refuse to take their own responsibility.
34.How did GPT users perform compared to students using traditional methods
A.Basic GPT users performed best during the practices.
B.Tutor GPT users scored 127% better during the test.
C.Basic GPT users’ performance dropped during the test.
D.Tutor GPT users scored 17% lower during the practices.
35.What does the underlined word “crutch” mean in paragraph 3
A.A device to help people walk. B.A strategy to deepen learning.
C.A tool to improve math skills. D.A shortcut to find quick answers.
36.What are AI tools expected to do in education setting
A.Enhance students’ thinking ability. B.Follow AI designers’ instructions.
C.Give in-depth answers instantly. D.Replace traditional teaching methods.

(24-25高二上·上海·期中)Although websites such as Facebook and MySpace experienced increasing growth during the middle of the first decade of the 21st century, some users fail to realize the fact that the information they post online can come back to trouble them. First, employers can monitor employees who maintain a blog, photo diary, or website. Employers can look for troublesome employees’ opinions, sensitive information disclosures, or wildly inappropriate conduct. For example, a North Carolina newspaper fired one of its features writers after she created a blog on which she anonymously wrote about the characteristics of her job and coworkers.
The second unintended use of information from social networking websites is employers who check on potential employees. A New York Times article reported that many companies recruiting (招募) on college campuses use search engines and social networking websites such as MySpace, Xanga, and Facebook to conduct background checks. Although the use of MySpace or Google to investigate a student’s background is somewhat upsetting to many undergraduates, the Times noted that the use of Facebook is especially shocking to students who believe that Facebook is limited to current students and recent alumni.
Company employers are not the only people interested in college students’ lives. The third unintended use of social networking websites is college administrators who monitor the Internet— especially Facebook— for student misconduct. For example, a college in Boston’s Back Bay expelled (除名) its Student Government Association President for joining a Facebook group highly critical of a campus police sergeant. In addition, fifteen students at a state university in North Carolina faced charges in court for underage drinking because of photos that appeared on Facebook.
Although more users of websites such as Facebook are becoming aware of the potential pitfalls (陷阱) of online identities, many regular users still fail to take three basic security precautions. First, only make your information available to a specific list of individuals whom you approve. Second, regularly search for potentially harmful information about yourself that may have been posted by mistake or by a disgruntled (不满的) former colleague. Third, never post offensive material under your name or on your page as, despite the best precautions, this material will likely make its way to the wider world. By taking these simple steps, members of the digital world can realize the many benefits of e- community without experiencing some of the damaging unintended consequences.
37.The main purpose of the passage is to _________.
A.explain the growth of the digital world through from the aspect of privacy
B.discuss the risks of the digital world and suggest ways to protect yourself
C.propose steps Facebook, MySpace, and Google can take to protect user privacy
D.illustrate potential unintended uses of private information
38.The author implies that users should take all of the following actions to protect their online privacy EXCEPT _________.
A.know to whom you make your online information available
B.avoid uploading information that would be damaging if it were discovered
C.carefully select and limit who can view your electronic profile
D.speak with employers to inform them of any misinformation published about you
39.Which of the following best describes the relationship between the last paragraph and the other paragraphs
A.It offers detailed examples to support previous point s of view.
B.It summarizes the points of view in the previous paragraphs.
C.It provides suggestions to solve the previously mentioned problems.
D.It offers evidence to make the previous point s of view clearer.
40.According to the passage, which of following does the writer imply
A.Information obtained unwillingly from the Internet is permissible in court.
B.It is impossible to protect yourself from unintended uses of information online.
C.Even if you restrict who can view your data, the government may still access it.
D.Done properly, posting offensive information about oneself causes no risk.

The reason: To clone the historic tree, store its DNA and plant potentially thousands of cloned trees across the Southeast.(研究人员目前正在从插枝上培育新根。原因是:为了克隆这棵历史悠久的树,储存它的DNA,并在东南部种植数千棵克隆树)”可知,研究人员的目的是从原树中克隆一棵古树。故选D。
30.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The most common method is by rooted cuttings. In this method, a tip of a tree’s branch is dipped (蘸) into hormones, placed into a foam plug (泡沫塞) and set inside a mist room. Then, the waiting begins. A sign of life can take several months to a year to show, if one comes at all. (最常用的方法是插枝。在这种方法中,将树枝的尖端浸入激素中,放入泡沫塞中,并置于雾室中。然后,等待开始了。生命的迹象可能需要几个月到一年的时间才能显现出来,如果有的话。)”以及“ In another method called tissue culture, researchers take a quarter-inch of branch, dip it into a mixture made up of a dozen hormones and other chemicals, seal(密封) it in a container and wait to see whether it will grow roots.(在另一种被称为组织培养的方法中,研究人员取出四分之一英寸的树枝,将其浸入由十几种激素和其他化学物质组成的混合物中,将其密封在容器中,等待它是否会长出根。)”可知,第一种方法中生命的迹象可能需要几个月到一年的时间才能显现出来;第二种方法中,研究人员需要等待它是否会长出根,即表示研究人员不确定其是否会长出根。由此推断,这两种方法中,树枝有可能无法生长出根,存在无法成功克隆的可能性。故选B。
31.词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子“Experts… the group for its creative methods and reproduction in large numbers, but they doubt whether the clones will grow as the originals do. (专家们对该组织的创新方法和大量繁殖表示……,但他们怀疑克隆体是否会像原代植物那样生长。)”中的 but可知,前后是转折关系,虽然专家们对克隆体是否会像原代植物那样生长表示怀疑,但是他们对该组织的创新方法和大量繁殖表示称赞,划线单词表示“称赞”,与A项“Praised.(赞美)”意思相近。故选A。
32.推理判断题。根据最后一段 Scott Merkle 所说的话“ “There are so many variables that there’s no certainty that they will be able to survive and perform better than other trees that you plant on the same land”(“有太多的变量,无法确定它们是否能够存活下来,并且比你在同一块土地上种植的其他树木表现得更好。”)”以及“He added that the age of historic trees makes them difficult to study. “I think it’s a great thing that they’re doing. I just don’t know how realistic it is.”(他补充说,古树的年龄使得研究它们变得困难。“我认为他们正在做的事情很棒。我只是不知道这有多现实。”)”可知,ScottMerkle对这一团队的工作表示赞美,同时他也表示了自己的担忧即因为有太多的变量,所以不确定该研究的结果,由此可推知,他的态度是谨慎的。故选C。

33.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But many teachers say their students are short of the skills to improve upon what AI produces, or the maturity (成熟) and self-awareness to know where the work of AI ends and their own responsibility begins. (但许多教师表示,他们的学生缺乏改进AI生成内容的能力,或者缺乏成熟度和自我意识,无法分辨AI的工作在哪里结束,自己的责任从哪里开始)”可知,学生在使用AI聊天机器人时缺乏改进AI生成内容的能力,不知道哪里该自己负责,由此推知,他们缺乏有效使用人工智能的能力。故选B项。
34.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Students using the basic and tutor GPTs scored an astonishing 48 percent and 127 percent better than their peers during the practices, respectively, but when the same students went to get back the information from their memory during a follow-up closed-book test, their math skills had disappeared. Test performance of the students who had used the basic version of ChatGPT dropped so sharply that they scored 17 percent below their peers who had relied on pen and paper. (在练习中,使用基础版和辅导版GPT的学生分别比同龄人高出48%和127%,但当这些学生在随后的闭卷测试中从记忆中回忆信息时,他们的数学技能却消失了。使用过基础版ChatGPT的学生的测试成绩下降得如此之快,以至于比那些依赖纸笔的同龄人低了17%)”可知,在练习中使用GPT的学生在后续测试中表现下降,尤其是基础版GPT用户的表现下降明显。故选C项。
35.词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“and often skipped straight to the answer”(并且经常直接跳到答案)和“When applied at key moments, the technology actually ‘runs the risk of blocking learning.’ (在关键时刻应用时,这项技术实际上“有阻碍学习的风险”)”可推知,“crutch”在文中是比喻用法,指学生将AI聊天机器人作为“避免自主思考、快速获取答案的捷径”,而非真正辅助学习的工具。故划线词意思是“寻找快速答案的捷径”,与“A shortcut to find quick answers.”同义。故选D项。
36.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In several studies, the tools performed well when designed to guide student learning-by refusing to give away answers, for example, or asking in-depth follow-up questions. (在几项研究中,当这些工具被设计成引导学生学习时,它们表现良好,例如,拒绝给出答案,或者提出深入的后续问题)”可知,当AI工具被设计成引导学生学习时表现良好。由此推知,在教育环境中AI工具被期望能够引导学生思考,增强他们的思维能力。故选A项。
